Funnily enough, it was on by default. Deactivating shadow cache and disabling the memory paging file seems to have done the trick, it no longer crashes. Admittedly it looks somewhat bad but it runs buttery smooth. If there are any future hinderances I'll post here again but thank you so much for your reply.

So, I very recently got this game, and I started playing with a friend. The first match we played ran smoothly with 50-60 fps on medium - high-ish settings. However, the second match, upon loading a (What I assume must be) much larger map, crashes to desktop with the error "Out of video memory trying to allocate a texture! Try lowering the resolution and closing any applications that might be running. Exiting..." - This happens seemingly at random, sometimes it loads a map and runs for about 5-10 minutes, but most of the time it crashes immediately upon getting the "Press ENTER to deploy" prompt. Empty servers do not seem to present such issues unless it is on (I presume are) the largest maps.
I don't understand why this is happening, as I played the game a couple of years back on a free weekend with no issue, and I meet the minimum requirements for the game. Even at the bare minimum settings (At 1080p), the game will crash, usually taking steam and/or discord down with it.
My Specs:
NONE OVERCLOCKED:
EVGA GTX770 2GB VRAM
i5 3330 @3.3GHZ
12GB DDR3 RAM
My logic being that if it can run arma 3 on medium at 1080p with 120+ people on, it should be able to run this no problem (As it does, even on high, whenever it doesn't straight up crash)
I've tried:
Updating graphics drivers (Which I did anyway to play Monster Hunter World)
Lowering the settings (Not resolution, because I find it very silly that I would need to play at less than 1080 when this is not a demanding game at all) to absolute bare minimum (Didn't change much except getting 70-90 fps when the game doesn't crash)
Verifying integrity of game files (All correct, was a fresh install anyways)
Clearing up disk space (Yeah so upon looking it up this fixed stuff for a lot of folk, didn't for me)
Disabling both discord and steam interfaces (Nada)
I would love to play this game, because there are a myriad of features I enjoy in it. However, I feel that either the minimum requirements are underlisted, or that this issue has not been prevalent enough to be permanently fixed.
Thanks for reading this far, and I patiently awake a response.
